    I love olive trees, this one if it could talk would tell a few stories from its past. I hope you have a wonderful crop this year. :)

    Looks like work ahead. The tree and the ladder both look like they have been around for a while.

    What a strong looking old tree. Seeing the beauty of a tree after a pruning is rewarding, as the tree bears more fruit or branches out into a fuller shape.

    I always wonder how long olive trees live. Even the younger ones seem ancient! :)

    Hi Linda,

    I love the composition of this photograph, I wonder was it staged, or was that just how you came across the ladder?

    Seeing the wood of the ladder against the trunk of the tree is so cool.

    This is the time to prune here too. I like this photo of the ladder against the tree. It tells a story.

    Really lovely photo! What a nice thing to see on an afternoon walk. Are there still olives on this tree or is it dead now? Perhaps someone was picking them earlier in the day.

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
